Mexican navy ship strikes Brooklyn Bridge killing at least 2 people - how is this even real? - Upgoat

I can't believe they didn't have harbor tug-pilots guiding thing POS until it was 100% clear of any key infrastructure.

You'd think the Port Authority would have learned it's lesson from that Cargo ship that nearly took down a key bridge last year.

Nearly? Man, that bridge crumbled into the channel after the first spar snapped.

Didn't over 1/2 of it remain standing? The ship only took out 1-2 spans.

The rest had to be controlled demo'd and removed.

Likely escorted by the formidable Mexican Air Force.

seems it lost power, and was pushed backwards by the 7 knot current

It looks like they are taking off from the old Fulton Fish Market location. They often have replica boats there as it's a tourist hub. Also a ferry landing with a lot of wake and very windy, choppy conditions.

It just happened a few hours ago...give the media time to totally fuck it up, and blame White men.

Appears to be real and gay. So, you're half right.

It's hard to say, you don't put jackholes in charge of a multimillion dollar boat. These mayheekanz had to be somewhat proficient at operating it. High tide/low tide comes into play with something like this.

I saw something about a tug boat and the sailing ship drifting backwards. I think that is where this will end up. A broken line.

What a colossal fuckup.. And all the while a HUGE amigo flag proudly waving in the breeze.

Too many beers. Any ship driver in a White country would be court martialed for drinking on duty.

Authorities say the boat's captain lost control of the vessel, and Adams on Sunday morning said the ship had lost power.

Lost power, but was headed for the bridge at high speed? Story is incompatible with the video we just watched.
